Bob Summers almost smiling
It would appear that these Northern Englanders don’t have toast with their breakfast! – how do I know? Because in the famous words of Max Boyce – ‘ I was there’.
Jan and I headed up the motorway at 8am this morning to see if the hospitality of The Swallow Hotel was all it was made out to be, and apart from the lack of toast with my breakfast it was just so. This breakfast was eaten along with Pete and Diane of our club and some forty odd others who had decided to listen to what was being offered by the new ‘GoldWings North West’.
The new chairman, Bob Summers, was quickly voted in without anyone else standing for the post (what a surprise!)
Bob was quick to ensure that he had a working team with him and after a vote, two stalwarts, Pete Rodgers took the job as Treasurer and Ian Duxbury took on the post of Membership Secretary.
Stuart Ormorod then explained the concept of the Federation to the meeting and after answering all the questions it seemed to me that everyone was happy with the concept.
The meeting continued to a successful conclusion, with some points being decided and some being deferred to allow the members of the new club time to make decisions on various items such as Logos and the like.
I look forward to working with Bob to ensure that our two regions make progress in the right direction and from the support by some visiting members to the meeting today, I suspect it may not be too long before we are joined by another fledgling club soon to be formed.
Keep watching this space.

No toast for breakfast and you have almost spilled the (baked) beans on a new region.
Come on Dave, what do you know?

Steve,
I don’t want to force them either way – they will do what they want when they want but I suspect it will not be more than a month at the outside before we hear something.
